Using variables in Screen url (in the object repository)

Help Studio

Hello UiPath community!
Let’s say, I have a webapp like this webapp_test.com
And 3 screens like this: webapp_test.com/login, webapp_test.com/search, webapp_test.com/results

Now I want to move my code to production so all urls will start with webapp.com

I want to have all urls of the Screens in the repository to have a variable such as serverName + “results” where serverName is a string variable equal to “webapp_test.com”.
Then when I move to production environment I just assign

serverName=“webapp.com”

But as discussed here I think it is not possible. I am using 2020.10 but can use a more recent version if this issue/limitation was fixed.

How can I achieve changing from test to procution without Find+replace?
Thank you all!
